A shooting on a public street is a danger… it was a danger while it was happening, it was a danger in waiting before it happens and it remains a danger to any and all in that neighborhood and the city of Kingston…
our “privacy” laws and any number of self serving withholding of data and discussion and “stay calm” messages do not serve the public well.
It is all very dangerous and a whole lot more needs to be said.
